Dieser Titel erklärt und illustriert anhand von 12 wichtigen Elektrokardiogrammen, wie man bei Herznotfällen - anhand des EKGs - schnell und sicher Entscheidungen fällt.
Dabei ist abgedeckt:
wie man anhand des EKGs den zugrunde liegenden kardialen Notfall erkennt
die prognostische Bedeutung
die jeweils beste Behandlung
Zusätzlich werden Standards der AHA (American Heart Association) in der Behandlung und Aspekte der Differenzialdiagnose erläutert.
Ihr Plus:
Perforierte Nachschlagkarten für die Kitteltasche - um im Notfall schnell die richtige Entscheidung zu treffen!

Résumé
Explains and illustrates the importance of 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECGs) in making rapid and informed decisions in cardiac care. This book covers the logical steps to the ECG recognition of the underlying mechanism of cardiac emergencies, their prognostic significance, and the best treatment.
